Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is a testament to the architectural grandeur of one of Kolkata's most iconic government buildings. The photograph captures the intricate details and impressive scale of Government House, with its imposing columns and ornate façade. The symmetrical design exudes a sense of power and authority, reflecting the significance of this historical landmark.

It invites us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the complex layers of history that surround Government House. Through this photograph, we catch glimpses of daily life in Calcutta during that era – bustling streets filled with Indian locals going about their business against the backdrop of this magnificent structure.
